4.0 out of 5 stars.  I love mine, October 13, 2010
By Ryan S. Haner
I ride light freeride (so far no bigger than 4 ft drops) so I climb to the top and then ride to the bottom, rinse and repeat. This bike does it for me. I threw a shorter stem on mine and I use less than recommended sag, put a chain guide and bash guard on it, and it handles everything the local trails have to offer. I also did some lift access at a nearby resort. It handled it beautifully. I also ride xc with a local group sometimes, riding 15 miles or more and it is an alright performer in that department. If I was riding more xc I'd put my old stem back on and start buying lighter parts to swap out (wheels and tires), or I'd just shop for a 29er.
If you want to ride a bit more aggressively I would recommend a longer travel fork with the 35-36mm stanchions.
Also the rear hub is not impressive stock. Expect it to last through no more than 1.5 seasons of light freeride use intact. It develops play quickly which you can correct with a pair of cone wrenches but I'd rather not have to do that once a week so I swapped it out after only a month for that reason.

For the cost it is a wonderful bike that is part of diamondback's big comeback. The 2010 frame is stiff and strong. The stock suspension is worth half of the bike's price alone.
Buy and love it.
